Those lovely plants beautify your entire home. However, of late, you've noticed a few insects scurrying all over your plants, as you apply water. What are these pests? How can you deal with them effectively?
Houseplant pests can ruin plants in mere days, causing serious damage that includes reduced foliage, yellowing of leaves, stunting, and diseases. Some of the most destructive of these pests are microscopic creatures that target stems, leaves, and roots, chewing away at plant tissue or sucking sap.
Aphids are soft-bodied insects that use their piercing sucking mouthparts to feed on plant sap. They usually occur in colonies on the undersides of tender terminal growth. Heavily-infested leaves can wilt or turn yellow because of excessive sap removal. While the plant may look bad, aphid feeding generally will not seriously harm healthy, established trees and shrubs.
Houseplant pests can be some of the most overlooked pests that infest homes. These insects can cause serious harm to your beloved plants.
